White Snow Ink Grey Tall Small Teacup

**White Snow Ink Grey Tall Small Teacup** **What is Ash Glaze?** Ash glaze is one of the earliest high-temperature glazes in the East, derived from plant ashes. The final effect of ash glaze is determined by various factors such as differences in plant composition across regions, the choice of plants, soil composition, firing methods of the ash, and the water-to-ash ratio. Consequently, each piece of ash-glazed pottery exhibits endlessly varied and uniquely captivating colors. **Our Plant Ash Glaze** Crafted from natural ash glaze formulated with plant ashes locally sourced from Taichung, each batch involves a complex and scarce production process. The inability to replicate the formula due to variations in plant ingredients bestows upon the vessels a constantly changing, enchanting natural color and texture. The process of creating our local ash glaze is illustrated in the diagram below: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54023594837_cd1b56f38d_c.jpg **White Snow Ink Grey Tall Small Teacup 1** Dimensions: Approx.

Please consider carefully before purchasing if you seek absolute perfection. * Crazing (cracking) on the ceramic surface is a natural phenomenon resulting from the differing shrinkage rates of the clay and glaze; it is not a product defect or crack. * Dimensions are measured by hand and may have slight variations (±0.3 cm). * All vessels are fired at high temperatures and are safe for use. * The items are photographed in kind. Due to variations in lighting and angles during photography, slight color differences may occur. Precautions ◎ Please avoid using hard cleaning tools such as metal brushes to prevent scratching the glaze, which can cause the surface luster to disappear. ◎ Please do not soak the vessel in dirty water for extended periods to prevent dirt from accumulating in the crackle lines. ◎ Ensure the vessel is completely dry before storing.
